Metaversum gave the starting signal for the public beta phase of its virtual world Twinity on Friday, 5 September 2008. You can download the press release as PDF here.

Germany’s capital Berlin is the first city to be rendered in the virtual world. Twinity members can now experience virtual Berlin first hand. From the Brandenburg Gate to Alexanderplatz and Hackescher Markt, members can visit virtual galleries, bars, and clubs, go shopping, meet new people, and even move in and furnish their own virtual apartments. During the public beta phase, Twinity will be constantly tested and updated, new content will be added, and the platform will be optimized with the help of member feedback.

During this test phase, users can venture out and explore virtual Berlin from anywhere in the world. Singapore, London, and many other international metropolises are set to follow in the near future.

All those interested in visiting Twinity can now register for the public beta at www.twinity.com.
